inking (tracing the penciled animation onto cels with ink) and painting (filling in the colors after the inking is complete) were considered to be forms of "uncreative" labor, and were thus less prestigious, less paid, and generally unattractive to male creatives who could get better jobs

No #strictly standoff ?!?? I guess I'll watch something else on Sunday

Having recently seen Steps at their prime on #totp , this #strictly appearence is not doing the blond guy any favours

I can understand #strictly treating the Blackpool dance room as iconic, but they really should stop pretending the town itself is not a shit hole 🙄

Chester is particularly pretty tonight

"You can agree or disagree with him, but Polanski does not pretend to be something he is not. He is unusually willing for a politician to give a straight answer to questions. Does he want to rejoin the EU? “Yes." observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

This is more run of the mill Green politics but it sticks to the community / social responsibility message. And even tho the comms are not as slick, it is good to hear more from the wider team, show there's more to the Greens than their leader

It was all those Pb & J sandwiches.

If you're being pursued by an assailant on a space hopper, a tack is the best form of defence.

Americans won't be thrilled with me saying this, but it's probable that the Boston tea party followed a similar strategy from rich Bostonian businessmen. These "businessmen" did not want to pay taxes the UK needed to reinforce colonial troops defending against French incursions. Same old story.

If the UK government was really serious about online safety they would have banned Twitter/X instead of implementing the Online Safety Act. That would've removed a major source of extremist hate but preserved small website communities and forums that offer safe aid and advice.

What a shocking waste of opportunity this government has proved to be. It has squandered its time and attention on ridiculous fiscal rules, persecuting refugees and trashing ecosystems in the name of growth, while failing to deliver what we so desperately want. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The first modern law to restrict immigration to the UK was the Aliens Act 1905. This was a response to the wave of Jewish refugees fleeing murderous attacks and discrimination in Russia. Winston Churchill considered this law so racist that he defected from the governing Tories to the Liberals.
